Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expressed her belief that Democrats should rally around the abortion debate in order to secure the key to victory in the 2024 election cycle.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki on Sunday, Pelosi honed-in on the issue—coming one year after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Pelosi said Democrats have seen success by centering their campaigns around pro-abortion talking points, which she attributed to helping the party avoid disaster in the 2022 midterm elections. “Everybody said we’re going to lose 30, 40 seats,” she said.
“They were saying to me, ‘You’re gonna owe an apology to the members because Dobbs is in the rearview mirror.’ But it wasn’t. It was upfront, right up in front for women in our country.”@SpeakerPelosi on the one year anniversary of Dobbs decision. pic.twitter.com/YE7YIQPEYa

“Last time we lost five and everybody says you had the wrong message. They were saying to me, you’re going to owe an apology to the members because Dobbs is in the rearview mirror. But it wasn’t. It was up front, and it is right up in front of women in our country,” Pelosi added.
“Our country has always been about expanding freedom. Until now, this court, ignoring its own precedent and the right of privacy in the Constitution.” Pelosi said, one way or another, the federal government could still find a way to codify abortion access “one way or another.”

Her interview followed remarks from former President Donald Trump over the weekend, who touted himself as the most “pro-life president” in history as he rallied along the campaign trail.
Fellow GOP presidential hopeful and former Vice President Mike Pence also celebrated the overturning of Roe V Wade this weekend by calling for a 15-week standard abortion ban should he be elected next year.
